The twelve acre
garden and two acre orchard is a place to grow and nourish, not only
vegetables, fruits and flowers, but people too. Here is a safe and peaceful
place to learn, to nurture, and to accomplish. Rhythm, reliability and self
esteem are well rooted
in the soil of the garden.
What better place to be in the Summer than a bed of green lettuces or a forest of delphiniums, accompanied by the trickle of the water pool and the sunny greetings of fellow gardeners? |
Many customers-some 170 families in 2010- become good friends and form a valuable layer of community life. They are welcome at special events, to help out, or just to drop by. |
All the produce is certified organic. Flowers, herbs, and vegetables are sold through area stores, Osceola Farmer's Market and primarily through our direct CSA. (community supported agriculture. Deliveries are made to central points in local towns and Minneapolis/St Paul. |
